Bulembu is a very quiet place; it once hosted an asbestos mine, which closed down in 2001, basically destroying the local economy. There is still logging in the area, though, and several children's services agencies have moved in to take advantage of the cheap housing and peaceful surroundings. In addition to children's homes, the main agency in the area, Bulembu Ministries, also runs a lodge, a craft workshop/giftshop, and is establishing bee-keeping and honey production for the displaced workers who stayed in the area.
